Joint Commission

Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been accredited by the Joint Commission, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting quality healthcare services. This voluntary accreditation signifies that the hospital's efforts to provide highest-quality healthcare have received professional and national recognition through stringent evaluation and consultation from the Joint Commission.

Designated Planetree Hospital

For nearly 15 years, Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been affiliated with the Planetree Alliance, a group of innovative hospitals and healthcare institutions who are dedicated to implementing innovative programs to personalize, humanize and demystify the healthcare experience for patients and their families. Mid-Columbia was the first Alliance affiliate to adopt and embrace, hospital-wide, Planetree's philosophy of patient-centered care. Considered an exemplary model of Planetree, Mid-Columbia is one of the few affiliates to have incorporated all nine components of the Planetree vision into its facility.

Oregon Quality Award

Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been recognized for its outstanding commitment to performance excellence and has received the Oregon Quality Award, which is based on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The award is given to industry leaders who have achieved outstanding performance evaluations in leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information and analysis, human resources, process management and organizational outcomes.

Commission on Cancer

Celilo has received the highest-possible rating by the independent organization that surveys and evaluates cancer centers nationwide, The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons. In 2013 Celilo received accreditation "with commendation."

Celilo's overall approval rating indicates that, after a thorough examination of 36 standards of care and reporting, a CoC surveyor found zero deficiencies. Approval with commendation is an even loftier citation that means Celilo staff also eclipsed CoC standards in each of nine additional measurements.

Top Work Place of 2014

Mid-Columbia Medical Center was named as one of seven Oregon companies to demonstrate outstanding commitment to families and community. The Families in Good Company Award is a reflection of Mid-Columbia's dedication to helping employees manage work and family demands, with such benefits as flexible work schedules, job sharing, telecommuting and compressed work weeks, on-site child care and wellness programs.

The Mid-Columbia Health Foundation has announced that Columbia River Bank will be the presenting sponsor again for this year's annual Festival of Trees.

"We've been the presenting sponsor for the past 12 years and we are excited to take part once again." said Shawn Carroll, senior vice president, The Dalles retail market manager. "It is part of our goal to give back to our community with an event that is both enjoyable and raises funds for important causes. The Festival of Trees supports important programs that enable members of Mid-Columbia communities to receive the healthcare they need without having to leave the area."

The festival, which takes place Friday and Saturday, December 5th and 6th at The Civic Auditorium, includes a Christmas tree auction and free community day.

"The Festival of Trees has evolved into a wonderful winter tradition in our community," said Anne Copper, the health foundation's project coordinator. "We are thrilled with the commitment from Columbia River Bank again this year."

Proceeds from this year's Festival of Trees events will support the foundation's Next Century Campaign and Celilo Cancer Center. The auction on Friday, December 5th will be set among 35 Christmas trees which have been lavishly decorated by volunteer tree trimmers. The trees will be auctioned off to benefit the fundraising campaign.

On Saturday December 6th, a full day of family activities is planned, including the Lion's Club Pancake Breakfast, Christmas entertainment by Gorge Jazz and a visit with Santa sponsored by SMART. New this year will be a Philanthropy fair with over 20 local non profits, providing information on their programs.

"We're very excited about this year's festival," added Copper. "All of the events will make for a wonderful celebration. And, the funds raised will help enhance the quality and breadth of healthcare services available locally."
